Walks, Drives and Places to Visit

There is so much to do in the Lake District. Walking is probably one of the most popular things to do as there is just so much open space surrounded by amazing vistas, mountains and lakes. We have assembled a brief guide to some of the walks we like to do and further details of these can be accessed by the links below or in the right column.

Although none of these walks are particularly difficult you should always be well prepared when going out on the fells, follow this link for some expert advice.

That’s not to say that everything can only be appreciated on foot as there are some fantastic drives as well. We have also put a few of these together; there’s a lovely drive past Derwentwater and on through to Crummock Water, a slightly longer drive via Newlands Pass (a high road) to Buttermere and then a long drive out to some of the Northern Lakes.

If it’s a bit of shopping or eating and drinking you’d prefer then why not wander into town and explore its vast array of bars, restaurants, outdoor adventure & clothing shops and attractions?
